The Claim
Consuming a cholesterol-free formula diet significantly lowers plasma total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to a typical mixed diet containing approximately 300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day in healthy individuals.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
A diet with no cholesterol reduces levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in the blood compared to a regular diet that includes about 300 mg of cholesterol per day.
See the scientific wording
Consuming a cholesterol-free formula diet significantly lowers plasma total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared to a typical mixed diet containing approximately 300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day, indicating that dietary cholesterol contributes to plasma lipid levels in healthy individuals.
When you eat cholesterol, your liver makes more of it and stops removing as much bad cholesterol from your blood, so more of it builds up in your bloodstream.
What the research says
1 studyWhen healthy men ate a special diet with no cholesterol, their 'bad' cholesterol dropped a lot compared to when they ate normal food with cholesterol. This proves that the cholesterol we eat can raise our blood cholesterol levels.
